The progressive plan, as given out at the White House last night follows: Monday—Banks in the 12 Fed- eral Reserve cities.

No Difference Drawn. Mr. Roosevelt drew no line between banks belonging to the Federal Reserve System and those State institutions out- side its fold. He placed upon State banking authorities, however, the re- striction that they allow openings to- morrow in the 12 reserve cities “if in their judgment they deem it wise to do He emphasized that: “The fact that banks will be opened under this plan does not mean that any oone should draw the inference that the ‘banks opening tomorrow are in any different condition as to soundness from the banks licensed to open on Tuesday, Wednesday or any stbsequent day.” It was pointed out last night that the banks in the District of Columbia which will be licensed to reopen Tues- day for the performance of all usual and normal banking functions, will be such banks as the Secretary of the *Treasury, after receiving reports from the Federal Reserve Bank in Richmond |and Controller of the Currency Awalt, #inds to be in sound condition.

ECONOMY MEASURE PASSED BY HOUSE, RIVING PRESIDENT WARTIME POWERS Roosevelt Granted Authority to Drop Thousands of Vet- erans From Compensation Rolis and Cut U. S. Pay. FURLOUGH IS REPLACED BY STRAIGHT REDUCTION Slash Not to Be Greater Than 15 Per Cent—Opposition Proves Fu- tile—Senate Will Take Up Bill Tomorrow and Favorable Action Is Expected. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. President Roosevelt’s economy bill was passed by the House yes- terday by the impressive vote of 266 to 138. For the second time since the Seventy-third Congress met on Thursday the Republicans and Democrats in the House toed the mark and gave the President vast powers—powers that rival the broadest ever given a Chief Execu- tive in war time. Under the economy bill Presi- dent Roosevelt has authority to make drastic cuts in pensions and disability compensation of vet- erans of all wars. He has power 0 eliminate from the rolls of those reeeiving compensation thousands of veterans. Furlough Law Repealed. In addition the bill which passed the House repeals the furlough law for Government employes and substi- tutes a straight wage and salary cut ‘for all Federal employes and officers, eivil and military, which in all prob- ability will amount to a 15 per cent reduction in basic pay. The pay cuts must conform to the reduction in the cost of living as compared to the cost of living during the last six months of the year 1928. No cut can be greater than 15 per cent. The bill operates for one year on pay cuts. There is no time limitation on the slashes in pen- sions and compensation of veterans. Without the slightest change, the President’s economy plan was put through the House as it was received from the White House. In vain the friends of the veterans —Patman of Texas, Rankin of Missis- sippi, Browning of Tennessee and oth- ers—inveighed against the proposals to cut the pensions and compensation and to strike many of the veterans from the compensation rolls. Republicans and Democrats rallied by their party leaders, Snell of New York and Byrns of Tennessee, joined together in giv- ing the President the wide authority he ‘t)u;‘ d:mnnded to aid in balancing the udget.
